Here at bookclique, we are wrapping up another year of recommending our favorite books. We told you about poetry; memoirs; romances; travelogues; and our sweet spot, literary fiction. We traveled from 17th century America to the Hapsburg and Ottoman Empires to Florence in the 1500s to JJ’s Red Hots in North Carolina; we spent time with indigenous migrant workers, an intrepid crime-solving midwife, love-struck TV writers, and a beautiful woman who falls in love with a bear. Our books topped best-seller lists, won prizes, made us weep, and brought us joy. We believe reading makes us wiser, lowers our heart rate, increases our empathy, and gives us something to talk about at cocktail parties. Below are links to all of bookclique’s 2024 reviews. We can’t wait to see you in 2025!
